Public transport companies have reduced fares following a decrease in petroleum product prices, providing relief to passengers across affected routes.
Various transport operators have cut ticket prices by up to Rs. 100, while goods transport charges have also been reduced by up to 3%.
Lahore Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Secretary Rana Mohsin said transport companies had displayed revised fare lists at bus terminals. The new fares will take effect immediately, and action will be taken against operators who continue charging passengers according to old or higher rates.
Punjab Transport Minister Bilal Akbar Khan has also directed officials to take strict action against transporters overcharging passengers. He said public transport fares must be reduced in line with cuts in petroleum prices.
The minister further instructed authorities to intensify enforcement against operators violating approved fare limits. He added that the government’s crackdown on smoke-emitting vehicles was also continuing.
